Americans are warming to Trump's impeachment, and Democrats risk alienating their base by procrastinating further.
since the Mueller report was released and Special Counselor Mueller's subsequent statement. That suggests that the more evidence that comes out against Trump—which would happen during an investigation—the more popular impeachment becomes.
The idea that the American public is opposed to impeachment, or that impeachment would ruin re-election chances for Democratic lawmakers? It's just not true. Some Democrats, like Reps. Al Green and Maxine Waters, have known this for a long time, based on Trump's attacks on the communities they serve. Others, like Sens. Elizabeth Warren , Bernie Sanders , and Kirsten Gillibrand , have responded to Mueller's report and Trump's continued descent into authoritarianism by announcing support for an impeachment inquiry.
Wrong again, for three reasons. First, let's assume Trump will rile up his base by demonizing anyone he can, impeachment or otherwise. Avoiding a head-on confrontation didn't work for"Little Marco," and it's a bad strategy for Democrats. Second, this overlooks the critical maintenance needed to engage their own base, as argued above. Third, this rests on the fallacy that we win the center by being centrist.
